\n<\/a><\/p>\nCrossing one of the world's narrowest streets\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nVenice is made up of canals and narrow streets, and one of them stands out for its its smallness<\/strong>. In fact, it's only 53 cm wide! The term vis-\u00e0-vis has never been more appropriate.<\/p>\nIf you go through the Cannaregio district<\/strong>which is home to the Jewish ghetto<\/a>just walk through it! It's a little oppressive, but this calle Varisco<\/em> is an unusual place in Venice that deserves a brief visit!<\/p>\n\n- Address:<\/strong>\u00a0Calle Varisco, 30100 Venice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nAn unusual way to discover Venice from the Grand Canal<\/strong><\/h2>\nOf course, you'll have to go through the Venice Grand Canal<\/a> during your stay, as it winds its way through the city from end to end.<\/p>\nBut discovering the city on the water, aboard a gondola<\/a> or a vaporetto<\/a>remains a activity<\/a> an unusual way to a first look<\/strong> of the wonders lining the banks of the canal.<\/p>\nAnd contrary to popular belief, it's not all that expensive if you book your walk\u00a0<\/a>!
\n<\/a><\/p>\nA supermarket in a theater\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nItaly makes a point of preserving its monuments, even when they are taken over by large fast-food chains or supermarkets. Such is the case of this former theater<\/strong>The walls have been preserved as they are.<\/p>\nEven if you don't really feel like shopping, I suggest you take a look at what could well be one of the world's most original supermarkets<\/strong>\u00a0!<\/p>\n\n- Address\u00a0<\/strong>Cannaregio district. 1939-1952, Campiello de l'Anconeta, 30121 Venice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe incredible Acqua Alta Di Frizzo Luigi bookshop<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere are still many atypical bookshops in Venice, filled with old books gathering dust and piling up on the shelves. But one of them has a special feature that's well worth a visit: the books are presented in boats and gondolas!<\/strong><\/p>\nAn original way for owners to protect themselves against the rising waters common in Venice (the Acqua Alta phenomenon), with the added possibility of to dock in the store by boat!<\/strong><\/p>\nBooks are available in several languages (including French), and there are many books dedicated to \u00e0 Venice and its history<\/a><\/strong>for enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n- Address<\/strong>Calle Longa Santa Maria Formosa - Corte del Tintor, 5176 - Castello, 30 122, Venice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nThe Rialto Wine Barrel Gate\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Rialto district is famous for two main reasons: the famous Rialto Bridge<\/a>one of the most reasonable in the world, and the daily fruit, vegetable and fish market on the riverbank.<\/p>\nBut the hidden zone a little secret<\/strong> A door with a wide opening at the bottom. Odd? Not really, when you consider that it was used to roll wine barrels to water customers and merchants back in the day. Amusing and rare enough to be worth mentioning!<\/p>\n\n- Address<\/strong>Calle Arco, 456, 30125 Venice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nVisit an ancient Venetian casino<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt was in Venetian casinos that the city's wealthy gathered, to gamble, comment on the city's affairs and indulge in a few libertine pleasures.<\/strong><\/p>\nWe wore the Venetian mask<\/strong>which has become an emblem of the city throughout its history. its carnival<\/a>to freely enjoy the pleasures offered in these very naughty establishments.<\/p>\nAlthough they are now forbidden by the city, the buildings that once housed them can still be visited, giving a glimpse of the places that were so important to the inhabitants of the Serenissima in its heyday.<\/p>\n
My favorite? Venier Casino<\/strong>The building is now the headquarters of the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise, in the Saint Marc district.

<\/a><\/p>\nAn excursion to the island of Sant'Erasmo\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Venice is surrounded by small islands of varying degrees of fame, such as the one that houses the cathedral. San Giorgio Maggiore<\/a>the island of Murano<\/a> and his art of wind tunneling or the surprising Burano<\/a> with its refined lace pieces. You can also take part in an excursion<\/a> to visit them!<\/p>\nBut the one I'm presenting here is much more confidential. That's right, the island of Sant'Erasmo<\/strong> is considered the vegetable garden of Venice. In fact, much of the produce on Venetian markets comes from here.<\/p>\nIt abounds in fields, old buildings and even has a beach<\/strong>a magnet for Venetians in search of a swim!<\/p>\nA place to discover on foot or by bike<\/strong>a complete contrast to your visits to the heart of Venice!<\/p>\n
